There is debate about whether the blob in the pacific is generating heat. Well in spite of what csd says it its. the goddard shills on enenews say radioisotopes cannot generate heat. total lie.Radioisotope thermoelectric generator

Diagram of an RTG used on the Cassini probeA radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG, RITEG) is an electrical generator that uses an array of thermocouples to convert the heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material into electricity by the Seebeck effect. An RTG has no moving parts.

RTGs have been used as power sources in satellites, space probes, and unmanned remote facilities such as a series of lighthouses built by the former Soviet Union inside the Arctic Circle. RTGs are usually the most desirable power source for unmaintained situations that need a few hundred watts (or less) of power for durations too long for fuel cells, batteries, or generators to provide economically, and in places where solar cells are not practical. Safe use of RTGs requires containment of the radioisotopes long after the productive life of the unit.

I would urge all people interested in fukushima, webcams, nuclear power and waste issues in the us and world to go to Caferadlab. Enenews comments is the worst as MVB , bobby1, dana, Kevin Kamps, ms. German, JoyB Clammersheller can all tell you. Ditch that dog. There are also some dangerous people there
